Be advised, big discussion yesterday that first years were being told there was lots of extra flights to pick up and lots of extra money around. Looks like that is old news and in the last year vast majority of new hires didn't break out of the 20's. Be sure to plan on getting min of 72hrs pay each month and budget that. There is absolutely NO REASON for a new hire to come to Spirit unless he/she lives in base and wants lots of time off and doesn't care about pay.
